We signed our ROAs but we wont be validating anything from the ARIN region. I believe you will find this to be the norm. The tool provided by RIPE also ignores ARIN by default.
Someone will probably tell me that I am being arrogant again, but basically you are asking me to help protect your routes. And you want me to sign something first. I am not going to even read that agreement. I do not believe I am alone in this.
Well the tool is designed to prevent you being fooled by people injecting bogus routing information. If you wish to continue to be fooled so be it. If I was running a ISP I wouldn't want to be in the position of explaining why I was accepting bogus routes when I have the way to reject them. The agreement is that if you run the tool and there is a mistake in the data or the servers are not available that you won't sue ARIN for the mistake. Mark
